Re: Using prototypes...

Rob,

So you have a single job description which is used by all compilation jobs?

Frankly, I'd change it so that you have a separate job description in the
modified_source library, which is a copy of the COMPILES *JOBD, but which
includes the modified_source library at the top:

modified_source
modified_files
modified_objects
base_source
base_files
base_objects

That way, all modified copybooks will be in the modified_source library and
will be found 'before' the same-named (unmodified) copybook in the
base_source library.

In the shop I'm currently at Prototypes are are copied into programs at
compile time.

The programs are compiled in batch so the library list is defined in the
COMPILES JOBD. This library list does not contain the source library.
Basically the library list is:
modified_files
modified_objects
base_files
base_objects

So the prototypes file (which contains the members for the /copy) is in the
modified_objects library.

My question is, is this normal practice or shouldn't the prototypes file
be
in the modified_source library and the library list in the COMPILES JOBD
be
changed to add modified_source as the last library list entry?

Thanks,

Rob
